I am looking to do a two-tone metallic candy finish on an Estes StarOrbiter. Yellow body color, deep red nosecone fading out to the yellow body color about half way to the fins. Presumably, some transition through red-orange in the middle as the colors overlap.
Base color will be the silver sealer and the 4603 Coarse Aluminum Flake. The candy colors will be the Createx Candy20 dye colors in their gloss clear. The question is - which color in the fade goes down first? Do I fade the red over the yellow? Or the yellow over the red? I suppose I could try both, but I only bought the small bottles of Candy to try something transparent and new.
Anyone who has experience with layering different colors of candy varnish, guidance is appreciated.
